INTRODUCTION
• This project focuses on the design and
simulation of a high-power DC-DC boost
converter (step-up converter), capable of
increasing battery voltage (typically 48V) to
higher levels (up to 400V) required by
electric drivetrains
• To achieve higher performance and
smoother output, the design includes
interleaved converter topology, and
optionally, a fuzzy logic controller to ensure
fast response and voltage stability under
varying load conditions.

Why Boost Converter in EVs
Boost converters are essential in EVs to step up the relatively low voltage from battery packs
(typically 48V or 72V) to a higher voltage level suitable for high-performance traction motors.
They ensure
• Compact design
• High efficiency
• Fast dynamic response
• Compatibility with regenerative braking and battery charging system

Why Fuzzy in boost converter
Conventional controllers like PID work well for linear and predictable
systems, but struggle in power electronics and EV applications due to
non-linear behavior, sudden load changes, and switching dynamics. A
Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) offers a better solution by using rule-based
logic, fuzzy sets, and human-like reasoning to handle imprecise data and
provide effective control without needing an exact mathematical model.
Challenges Fuzzy Control Advantages
Non linear voltage response Handles non linearity effectively
Variable load condition Adaptive to uncertainties
Ripple & overshoot issues Smoothens output transitions
Complex mathematical modeling No need for exact system model

Working Principle
1) INTERLEAVED BOOST CONVERTER CONCEPT:
This technique involves connecting two or more boost converter
phases in parallel, operated with phase-shifted switching to improve
overall converter performance
• Two identical boost converters are connected in parallel.
• Each phase has its own inductor, MOSFET, and diode.
• Both phases operate at the same frequency but with a phase
difference (usually 180° in 2-phase system).
• The total current is the sum of individual inductor currents.

2) Fuzzy Logic Controller in Boost Converter:
•Adaptive Non-Linear Control:
FLC is ideal for EV Boost Converters due to its ability to handle non-linearities, load changes, and
battery dynamics better than PID, without needing an exact system model.
•Fuzzification & Fuzzy Sets:
Inputs like error (Vref–Vout) and its change are converted into fuzzy variables (e.g., NB, Z, PB),
enabling flexible interpretation of real-time data.
•Rule-Based Decision Making:
A predefined IF-THEN rule base processes fuzzy inputs via an inference engine to determine
suitable control actions for adjusting PWM duty cycle.
•Defuzzification & Simulation:
Fuzzy output is defuzzified (centroid method) into crisp control signals. Simulated in MATLAB-
Simulink, FLC ensures fast response, reduced overshoot, and stability during disturbances.
